Climbed the C/D route solo overnight, 9/9/07-9/10/07, car to car in one push. Crevasses were hairy, and the route was straight up ice in places. Getting up was definitely easier than getting down in places.

Mazama climb. Partly cloudy to start and then we were chased off the summit by an oncoming thunderstorm. Group after group going up didn't listen or care about what was coming. By the time we descended to the upper basin at 9,000ft., high winds and ice were slamming us. Weather aside, the climb was easier and more fun than I expected.

Excellent weather caused us to set up a low camp at 5900' along the railroad grade, and ascend the Easton in warm sunshine. We left camp at 1:30pm and returned at 11:00pm. Even on such a nice day, we needed crampons from the crater on, and the summit was windy and cold.

Baker is a cool mountain...Lots of eye candy. Ice blue glaciers, blocky debris fields, deep-ass crevasses, water falls falling over exposed rock bands...
The four of us camped at the lower (6000') camp. Excellent snow free camp rings and tasty running glacier water. Made for a long summit day though. Lower camp to summit to lower camp in 9.5 hours. Wind and fog at the summit (No views). A couple of threats of precip (rain) but nothing bad enough to chase us down.

Nice hike up the Railroad Grade in good weather. Summit day started out nice, then we watched a storm system come in during our descent. Moved camp from up on the glacier down to the main high camp area. Enjoyed the sound of rain pounding on the tents while sippin a bit of whiskey. Always spend an extra day out if you can!
